reading program. Dates and summaries of activities follow:

Special Events:

Sean Emery Juggling Show

With his talent and an uncanny ability to read people, Sean Emery will scoop up your audience
and embrace them with his circus-y skills, comedy, and showmanship, and juggling stunts that
will have you asking yourself, “How did he do that??!”

 


CLIMB Theater presents: City Mouse & Country Mouse, the Mousical
Wednesday, July 18, 2018, 3:30 p.m.

Library Scavenger Hunts
See if you can follow the clues to find fantastical creatures, world leaders, famous buildings and
more hiding in the library! A new theme every week!

Where’s Gaston?
Gaston, our Summer Reading mascot, has gotten loose in Grand Marais! Fortunately, the
children’s librarian is on his tail, but has only managed to snap a few photos. Guess where he’s
been from the photo clues, and be entered in a weekly prize drawing.
